Proof that it works every time

A meta demonstration of Cunningham's Law where an intentional wrong answer is posted to elicit a correct correction

This image is a screenshot of a Reddit comment exchange that acts as a meta demonstration of Cunningham's Law. First, user Kollr intentionally misattributes the principle 'the best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer' as Murphy's Law. Another user, againstbetterjudgmnt, replies correcting the misattribution, asking if Kollr means Cunningham's Law. Kollr then replies 'See, it work.' (intentionally using slightly incorrect grammar) to point out that the correction he received is exactly the principle he described working in real time, proving the law is valid.

This content originated as a public comment thread on Reddit, and was later reposted to 9Gag as part of its RSS feed, with the original title 'Proof that it works every time'. The joke relies on the meta structure of intentionally posting incorrect information to trigger a correction, perfectly demonstrating the exact internet principle being discussed.
